The Blessing of Faithfulness

American culture has a preoccupation with sexual fulfillment: affairs, love triangles, all manner of sexual relationships ... It is near impossible to watch TV or a movie without seeing some form of sexual immorality being glorified or projected as normal, and this is lived out in a considerable portion of our population. The ways of Christ and His Word are rejected as out-dated and even abnormal. The later is true. The former is a rejection of timeless principles.

While the standards of God are clearly superior to the ways of man, American culture and even the church have rejected, lost, or ignored Christ' teachings. True and pure faithfulness is the highest form of fulfillment, even sexual fulfillment. When a couple is sold out to each other, when they are deeply committed to one another, they will truly experience a blessing from God.

The adulterous ways of man are racked with relational problems. Complications, lies, deceit, jealously, disease, and many other problems plague the promiscuous sexuality of Americans. Pour relational skills and self centric desires break up couples, one after another. Christ words on divorce and purity are but a faint recollection.

I urge you all to be faithful. Know the blessing of being faithful. Be faithful to your bride, and Christ' bride, the church. Be faithful to the ways of God, and you will truly experience a blessing. Raise the standard of relational conduct. Show commitment, and project the commands of Christ in all that you do.

America Bless God
